    It should be axed and anybody who ever appeared in it,watched it or auditioned for it should be killed..with an axe.

    Big Fuss!

    It's such lazy television! ; "Let's hold auditions, then put the biggest freaks into a house with cameras filming them for the summer!"

    Then, there's the saddos who watch the live feeds! Who stays awake at four AM watching people on TV sleeping?

    Hurray... A truely great result. The removal of one platform where socal bottom feeders get attention is always good news, Now just Axe, anything with celebrity in the title and shows like x-factor. X-factor my arse more like ****e factor, down with Prole tv.

    I watched this last night and the blonde chick in it was given a task. She was given a large map and she had to put a sticker on whichever country they called out. She only got 2 from 7 countries right.
    I've never seen anyone so dumb in all my life.

    The fact that they insisted on putting nothing but freaks into it made it even less interesting imo.

    Some other channel might still pick up the rights to it and make a new season.

    Just because C4 are dropping it doesn't mean it's finished. ITV will probably take over :pac:

    Why does modern society seek to reward stupidity with celebrity status?

    thank christ. Hopefully if it dies completely people wil lgo back to making real TV, not bloody reality TV. It ushered in this whole cult of personality famous for nothing celeb culture, hopefully that will die soon after BB does.

    Don't get overjoyed yet. It will be on Channel 4 next year also as they are contracted to do it. Then it will be gone.

    TV3 will buy the rights. They seem to get every cast off from British TV.

    Just playing devil's advocate here, is there any difference between BB and for example a soccer match? Neither adds anything to the sum of human knowledge, neither has any real impact on the lives of the viewers, entertainment is subjective is it not?
